From the Director:

Our office is here to support academic programs in developing assessment that guides faculty and leadership in making decisions to support effective teaching and learning. ATL collaborates with faculty, chairs, and administration to build connections across campuses and departments, and meet the changing needs in infrastructure, processes, policies and support. We want to provide you with best practice resources for your unique context and needs.

Our goal is to help teaching and learning thrive in all departments and campuses — and ensure that useful and manageable program assessment serves that end.

We value your input and suggestions as we move ahead. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
